Hull City 2-0 Wrexham: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Hull City 2-0 Wrexham in the Championship on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Hull City beat Wrexham 2-0 in a solid home performance. The Tigers took an early lead when Kyle Joseph scored in the 10th minute, setting a tone that Wrexham struggled to counter despite their recent draws showing some resilience. Coming off a heavy 1-4 loss to Middlesbrough, Hull looked sharper here, maintaining pressure without overcommitting.

The second half saw Wrexham miss a penalty through Kieffer Moore in the 56th minute, and George Dobson picked up a yellow card shortly after in the 57th. Hull capitalised when substitute Oliver McBurnie netted in the 67th, assisted by Ryan Giles, sealing the win. This result builds on Hull’s mixed form, including a recent away win at Stoke, while Wrexham’s winless run extends after their victory over Bristol City.

Hull City edged possession at 53% to Wrexham’s 47%, which helped them control the tempo and rack up eight corners compared to Wrexham’s two, pointing to more attacking territory without always converting. Successful dribbles were close, with Hull on 50 and Wrexham slightly ahead at 55, suggesting the visitors posed threats on the break but lacked end product, as shown by their single penalty attempt which they failed to score.

Discipline saw Wrexham pick up one yellow card, while Hull stayed clean, and the Tigers recorded one assist against none for the away side. Substitutions were active, with Hull making four changes – Oliver McBurnie replacing Joel Ndala at 63’, Liam Millar for Kyle Joseph at 64’, Babajide David Akintola for Mohamed Belloumi at 70’, and Amir Hadziahmetovic for Darko Gyabi at 81’ – while Wrexham used five, starting with Callum Doyle for Dan Scarr at 46’, Josh Windass for George Dobson at 68’, Sam Smith for Kieffer Moore and Ryan Longman for Ryan Barnett both at 78’, and Matty James for Ben Sheaf at 83’.

Hull City struck first with Kyle Joseph’s goal in the 10th minute, giving them an early edge that shaped the game. Wrexham had a chance to level when Kieffer Moore missed a penalty in the 56th, assisted by Ivor Pandur, and George Dobson earned a yellow card a minute later at 57’, adding to their frustrations.

The match turned decisively when Oliver McBurnie, who had come on for Joel Ndala at 63’, scored Hull’s second in the 67th with an assist from Ryan Giles, shortly after Liam Millar replaced Kyle Joseph at 64’. Later changes included Babajide David Akintola for Mohamed Belloumi at 70’ and Amir Hadziahmetovic for Darko Gyabi at 81’ for Hull, while Wrexham’s halftime switch of Callum Doyle for Dan Scarr at 46’ and further adjustments like Josh Windass for George Dobson at 68’ couldn’t spark a comeback.

Hull City lined up in a 4-2-3-1 shape, with Kyle Joseph leading the line effectively from the start and scoring early, while Mohamed Belloumi and Joel Ndala provided width before their substitutions. Ryan Giles stood out with his assist for Oliver McBurnie’s goal, highlighting a strong left-sided partnership. Darko Gyabi anchored midfield until his late exit, contributing to a balanced setup that controlled the game.

Wrexham set up in a 3-4-1-2 formation, relying on Kieffer Moore up front who had a key penalty miss, supported by players like Ryan Barnett on the wing before his substitution. George Dobson was central in midfield until his yellow card and replacement, with Dan Scarr starting in defence but making way at halftime. Ben Sheaf held things together until his late change, aiming for compactness but ultimately lacking the cutting edge.

Kyle Joseph is Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match after his early goal in the 10th minute proved crucial in setting Hull City on their way to victory. He contributed one goal without any assists, created no big chances but delivered one key pass, showing his value in a starting role before being replaced in the second half. His performance stood out for its direct impact on the scoreline in a game where Hull needed to bounce back.
